CASED from a Scrapbook Layout CTC#562

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING from a scrapbook layout in our catalogue!!  

And while I love scrapbooking and was hugely tempted to whip up a page, I needed an idea for classes this week, soooo used this lovely scrap page in the Mini Catalogue as my starting point.

I liked the corner detail, and the title with the flagged ends, so that's where my card began!!  

I've used the True Blue Florals paper for my fun card - but this is a technique you can use with ANY gorgeous paper to create a fun card to highlight both sides of lovely designer paper. 

I have a card base which measures the standard card size, and then the DSP is slightly larger and folded over so you can see both sides of the paper.  This time I've combined the paper with stamping from the Joyful Squares for the corner detail, and from Delicate Whispers for the flowers.  The greeting comes from Banner Sayings and is cut using the very useful Three Banner Punch.

Up next is the extraordinary Monique

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - Easter Baskets

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Today I'm joining the fabulous paper crafting monthly blog hop of fabulous international crafters.  Join us for a world tour of inspiration!

This month we are sharing EASTER!!  

and these cute little baskets are my go-to every year.  I love how easy they are, how quick they are to put together, and how fun they are to change it up every year depending on the supplies I have on hand!!  

So far, the only thing in my little baskets is some scrunched Lemon Lolly or Bubble Bath two tone cardstock to create a little nest for the goodies I will give for Easter.  

I've used the super gorgeous and totally cute Softest Spring puffy stickers for my embellishments!!  SOOO ADORABLE!  The baskets are made from the Pleasant Patterns DSP which is cardstock weight which is just PERFECT to create little baskets and boxes for gift giving!  

I've used the Modern Oval punch for tags and added a greeting with the Triple Banner Punch and the Banner Sayings stamp set - these two come in a great bundle making it super easy to use!  

Here's a video showing how to make these cuties!

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of AWESOME inspiration!!

Our Theme this month is Life Events. This project for our blog hop is a wedding card.

I've used the gorgeous Forever Florals bundle from our Online Exclusive collection with some stunning Copper Foil layered over the top of vellum.

I have also added some cute hearts from the Endless Love Dies again in the foil.

I've stamped using Pecan Pie ink which works quite nicely with the foil.

Inisde the card is some more die cut foil from the Forever Foils dies.

Delicate Dreams DSP card CTC#561

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING from the Annual Catalogue before it retires at the end of April

I've been inspired by this great card on page 41 from the spread featuring the Florals in Bloom collection.  I love the two different designer papers together and mixed font greeting.

My card features a mixed font greeting but it is much more subtle!! I do hope you can see the designer paper inspiration though!!!  

I've used the lovely Delicate Dreams designer paper combined with the Delicated Designs foil specialty paper.  AND the card front also features another paper from the Delicate Dreams pack - the B side which has a lovely subtle tonal design in Gray Granite.  

To enhance my greeting, I've die cut a bundle of elements from the Delicate Whispers die set using Secret Sea, and Textured Metallic Foil.  Inside the card is some simple stamping in Gray Granite.  

Up next is the extraordinary
